Route 36

Route 36 is a Johto route serving as an intersection between many areas. On its west path can be reached Route 35 as well as the National Park. On its east path can be reached Violet City and Ruins of Alph. Its north path leads to Route 37.

The route itself cannot be accessed from any direction until Goldenrod City‘s gym has been completed. The western path is also isolated from other paths by a Sudowoodo, which will require the SquirtBottle to get out of the way.

Notable miscellanies

Sudowoodo

In the middle of Route 36’s intersection stands a Sudowoodo, blocking the path. In order to pass, it is necessary to obtain a SquirtBottle from Goldenrod City‘s Flower shop, which is located east of the gym. With the SquirtBottle obtained, the Sudowoodo will fight the player upon using the SquirtBottle on it. As Sudowoodo is a rare Pokémon, it is recommended to capture it.

Note that unlike the original games, the Sudowoodo is not separating all three paths of Route 36. It is only isolating the western path from the northern and eastern paths. As such, it is possible, although not recommended, to backtrack all the way to Violet City and proceed to Route 37 without fighting the Sudowoodo.

TMs Smuggler

On the eastern side of Route 36 is located a Smuggler. He will sell two useful TMs to the player. However, he will refuse to sell them unless the player has the caught data of at least 15 Generation 2 Pokémon. He will sell the following TMs:
